Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

DIFFUSION OF BT COTTON AND INSECTICIDE USE [PDF]

open access: yes
This study estimated a dynamic logistic model to explain the diffusion Bt cotton in the United States. Regional differences in the speed and extent of Bt cotton adoption were explained by differences in availability of Bt seed adapted to local conditions,

Intercropping with legumes can reduce insect pest pressure but does not increase yield in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping winter oilseed rape with spring faba bean reduced cabbage stem flea beetle and pollen beetle damage but also reduced crop yield. Sowing the intercrop simultaneously with winter oilseed rape was essential to maximize crop protection against cabbage stem flea beetles. Abstract BACKGROUND Winter oilseed rape (WOSR, Brassica napus) is a major

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

Field performance of MON 94637 and laboratory evidence supporting a Bt pyramiding strategy against key lepidopteran pests in Brazil

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A genetically modified soybean expressing multiple Cry proteins protects against key lepidopteran pests, consistently reducing larval damage and offering an effective resistance management option for soybean production in Brazil. Abstract BACKGROUND Pyramided Bt genes in crops have been widely adopted to delay insect resistance evolution worldwide. The

BT COTTON REFUGE POLICY [PDF]

open access: yes
Since cotton producers do not own legal rights to kill insect populations that are susceptible to insecticides, individual producers may have no incentive to account for future, insecticide-resistance productivity losses arising from their pest ...

Assessing the potential for insecticide cross‐resistance to a novel insecticide in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) using phenotypic and transcript expression analysis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenotypic and transcriptional responses to imidacloprid and isocycloseram were examined across U.S. populations of the Colorado potato beetle, showing evidence of phenotypic cross‐resistance alongside population‐level variation in detoxification gene expression.

PCR‐based species identification tools for wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of economic importance in Canada

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Species‐specific PCR primers and PCR‐based assays were designed for the identification of 15 economically important and difficult to distinguish wireworm pests in Canada. PCR specificity testing and performance assessments confirm the accuracy of the assays.
